Feeding our Soldiers.
It is above all things necessary, when deal
ing with soldiers, who have to march and
fight, to clothe them well and feed them well.
An old proverb said that the English fight beet
after a. hearty dinner; that the Scotch per
form miracles of valor when only half-filled
with toed; and that the Irish fight best, fast
ing from all except sin—and whisky. The
American soldier exhibits greatest prowess
when properly provisioned. So do the French
military.
It must be admitted that, until the Crimean
war brought them together, as good comrades,
in the field, .the great inferiority of the
English, the great superiority of the French
fighters, in culinary matters, was a thing not
generally known—scarcely even inspected.
But every Frenchman seems to have been
born with a natural aptituth; for cooking.
Therefore,, the French rank among the very
wisest of mankind, according to the philoso
phical aphorism which, defines man to be a
cooking animal. Hence, no doubt, the sa.
gacions remark that there is reason in roasting
eggs.
The true difference between French and all
other cookery is only this: that in preparing
butcher's moat for the table, the French (and,
indeed, moat of the European continentals)
aim at making It tender; whereas, the English
and the Americans appear te, take infinite
trouble to make it hard. The Americans,
who generally bake their meat, where the
English roast it, are even worse cooks of ordi
nary food than the English.
The butcher's meat which is purchased in
America and in England, is tender and well
flavored when it comes into the cook's bands.
There is mutton in Berks county, Fermaylva-
Dia, and there is beef in Chester, Lancaster,
Montgomery, and Backs counties, in the same
State, which cannot be surpassed in the crack
meat counties of England. Yet, however ten
der it be when brought home, domestic cook
ery speedily hardens it.
On the Other hand, the butcher's meat pur
chased all over continental Europe is tough,
coarse-grained, and stringy. Yet, foreign
cookery sonde this meat to the table tender. .
The hardness is not in the 'meat itself ; that
arises, almost exclusively, from the bad cu
isine. The leg of mutton, half wasted in
England by the fire, is dry and hard on the
outside, red or cc rare within. In America,
.
baked In an oven, it is dried up, and.ita nntrP•
Lions juices dissipated. '
We have heard some of our bravo soldiers,
who are now in the field, like honest patriots '
as they are—we have heard some of-these
complain of the manner in which their rations
are cooked. This, :be. it noted, though .the
quantity le greater and the quality better Min'
the very best rations which French - soldliiii . '
get when in the best quarters.. *lt may Ai/
asked; why is net the food as well cooked as
the food of the Frenchmen 7 Why, indeed 7
&muse every Frenchmansan. cook -his, din
ner and sapper, and English or •Americana,
military or civil, cannot. • .
For example, rations are served out, and
we will say that three soldiers receive four or
five pounds of beef or mutton- 7 beef.,more
usual.. An English mess would not well know
what to do with this, nor with the vegetables
which may accompany' it ; which, at any
rate, can probably be purchasable at a low .
price. The Frenchman makes a pot !au feu'
out of his beef or mutton—a dish which
.the
greatest epicure would eat i ,iiitlmireastire.
Here is how he would do ft4:40;1! he .would
make the pot /mine, tThlcb brae most Tee
'There must be an Iron satteepai o yl iii;
and this must be kept clean mid brightat alit
times. The Frenchman tacks up his cuffs,
and puts a gallon of water into his iron sauce
pan or pot. He takes his four or five pounds
of beef—whether ot . r tite.bt4tiock, or-the shin,
- or the thick part Of the leg—and cuts it up
into small pieces. Be adds three teaspoone
fill of salt and one of pepper. He throws in
four middle.sized onions, four leeks cut' into
pieces, two carrots, also cut into inch-lengths,
two good-sized sliced turnips, one burnt or
roasted onion, and three cloves, if he can get
them. He puts the pot upon a fire which is
not hot, and, when beginning. to scum, he
skims it, and then places the pet on one side
of the Ere, where there still will be a continu
ous but not excessive best. Here the contents
will simmer. Now and then he will add a
very little cold water, which makes the mix.
taro clear. After the pot has been thus kept,
almost one boil, for four hours, the cook will
put a few slices of bread into a tureen, or
whatever vessel there may be to receive it,
and pours the broth, with some of the vegeta
bles, over. The meat is pat on a separate
dish, and 'the vegetables amalgamated to' a
most savory and nourishing mans upon another
dish. Here, then,-are three dishes—one of
.the beat soups in the world, equal to the Jul
lien ; splendid bouilli, with all the =mole of
the meat reduced to a nutritive jelly; and a
melaige of , vegetables, wholesome and appe
tising. If you have not all the vegetables here
named, substitute those which you have.
Turnip•tops, green and crisp, make a good
addition; so would a pint or two of peas,
(green or -field,) and the ordinary bean, It
French beans are not to be*had.. If the roast
edoulon be left out, the soup not only loses a
-.certain mellow flavor; but the color will be
:Whitt; instead of the color of .prime madeira.
By way, a glass of that wine, or of sherry,
Improves the flavor of the soup, but It should
nOtbe thrown in until it is ready for the com
pany, and they for it.
This is the fathom; pet au feu. Some peo-
ple add celery and potatoes; some throw in
tomatoes, which are a valuable addition.
Sweet herbs, chopped small, add to the flavor.
The animal part or this dish may be beef,
mutton, venison...ln:ly fresh meat served out
to the soldiers, as circumstancPs permit. The
French cook this great ;dish of theirs in an
earthen pipkin, with a close-fitting .11d, and a
handle at oach aide. This pipkin is rotund
in the middle, and narrows down towards the
bottom. It is fire-proof. There are just such
pipkin to be found In any cbinst4ire shop in
any village. The American pipkin has three
Or four short stumps of feet, and rude easily
on a stove, or on the corner of the fire. Slow
cooking makes the dish what it is, and these
Pipktus BO just fit' for it. The Frenctt'peasant
has little more than one meal a day, bat this
ikthe pot au feu, and capital it is: ' Even when
there is no meat, which often is the case among
the laboring classes in France, the vegetables
alone, dressed in this way, make a good
dish.
During the Peninsular war, from 1808 to
1814; the standing dish of the British army
was the Irish stew. Tho Spaniard cooks as
well as the Frenchman, and his Olio Podrido,
which excellent Sancho Panza was so fond of,
would be acceptable In a palace—Provided
the abominable garlick were left out. During
the prolonged campaign, almost every . officer
and commhsaariat desk had a Spanish or Per.
tugnese attendant—a roguish, ragged ne'er
do-well, who was reasonably honest, and,
above all, could cook. He was expected to
act at once as groom and cook, and no one
was eligible for the office who could not make
an Irish stew. It Pedro were asked 4 g Whit's
for dinner today 1" the reply, nine times out
of ten, would be, cc Oirish-too, senor."
Before mentioning how Pedro would make
his dish, we shall give Soyer's receipt, which
is very simple. He says :. et Take about two
pounds of scrag Si neck of mutton, divide it
into ten pieces and' ley ,them on the'stew-plum;
cut eight large potatoes. and four onions
slices, seaaen!ng7 wlttr - one - ,teaapoonfril and
, a
I half-of iiiity. s Ptroe'M salt; . cover all
with water; guit it' into. a slow oven for two
hours, thear.atir. dt . and dlsh.up in
de op dishes: lf you add a . little more water
the,:coMmencement, you can take out,

Letter from "Harvey Birch."
(Correepondenoe of The Press.]
WASIDNOTON, July 23, 1861.
The remarkable unanimity which character
ized the passage of Mr. Crittenden's resolu
tions yesterday is an inspiring evidence of the
loyalty of the present Cbngress, and a complete
refutation of the oft-repeated charge that this
war is intended for coercion, subjugation, and
the enfranchisement of the slaves in the South
ern States. This false assertion has had a pow
erful effect in preventing the development of
Union feeling in tome of the border slave
States, and it has been used to the great pre
judice of the Union cause in Kentucky. I
have now before me a copy of the Louisville
Courier of Friday last, which Most unscrupu
lous paper charges that, immediately after
taking the oath to Support the Constitution of
the United States, President Lincoln began
preparitions looking to the employment of
force against the Confederate States; *and, re
gardless of the provisions of the Constitution,
the interests of the country, and his obliga
tions to humanity, he has succeeded in inauga
rating,, and is now engaged in prosecuting, a,
war intended to deprive ten millions of freemen
of the:right to govern themselves, and which,
if successful, will destroy, at once and forever,
the Government established by our fathers. .1
might quote other assertions equally reckless
from the Courier, but I wish to contrast this
emanation from an irresponsible sourcefor
the paper has no names or proprietors or edi
tors attached to it--With the opinions of the
wise, patriotic, and venerable Mr. Crittenden,
who possesses so frilly the confidence of the
.peoV of 'Kentucky. The resolution report-
Dar itiliii•hat -Friday, and adopted with but
two lase ntin g vote's; those of Mr.' Mullett; of
'Kentucky, and Mr. Redd, of.Mhisouri, declare
"that the present deplorable civil war , has
been forced upon the country by the Die.
unionists of the Southern - States,now in re
volt against the constitutional overnment,
and in arms around the capital; ttifit, lapis
national emergency, Congress, banishing
feelings - of Mere passion or resentment; will
recollect :Only its duty to the whole country ;
that thil war is not waged on their part in any
spirit of oppression, .nor for the purpose of
cow/peat or subjugation; nor purpose of over
;throwing ‘ or interfering with the rights or es
tablielied institutions of those States, but to
defend and maintain the supremacy of the Con
stitntiOn, • and to preserve the Union with all
Its dlgnity,,equality, and rights of the several
States unimpaired ; and that as soon as these
'objects are 'accomplished, the war ought to
cease."
The terms of this resolution aro plainly and
unmistakably the truth, and, in their simple
dignity andforce, form a remarkable contrast
to the indiscreet asseverations of the partisan
Courier, which can be rebutted •by a plain
array of facts. The Courier atiarges 'that.ldr.
Lincoln inaugurated and is now prosectiting
the war. Mr. Crittenden assertsthat the war
was Rimed upon the country , ,,by the reyoltod
.Disunionista ,of; the Southern States. The
Courier avers that -the war,, iflu9cerelfal, will
destroy the Governmentl while Mr,,CClttefulea.
says it is intended only to maintain. the oOn.
siltation_ and preserve the Union with the
rightsiof till States unimpaired. The Weight
of character possessed by Mr. Crittenden wilt.
of itself overbalance the ineffably disgusting
tirades of the . Ccnirier, althorigh their shallow
trickery can deceive no one who is even par
tially informed of the progress of recent and
current events. But it is by. , means of such
misrepresentation and unblushing mendacity
that those who follow the desperate fortunes
of Breckinridge and MagofEn hope to main
tain . position and blind the perceptions of
their deluded followers. When I wished, the
other day, that the sentiments of Mr. Crit
tenden's reseletion could be sown broadcast
over the South with the advance 'of our
armies, I was not prepared to congratulate
the country upon its reflecting the unanimous
opinion of the representative branch of Con
gress, for I do not regard the infinitesimally
small opposition of Burnett and Reid as wor
thy of anything beyond a passing notice. It
seems to me that if there has been a single in
cident to-cheer. Mr. Lincoln in his arduous du
ties more encouraging to him than the spon
taneous uprising of the North in defence of
the imperilled Union, it certainly mast be the
complete endorsement of his policy and mo
tives, which has boon accorded by Mr. Crit
tenden. If the terms of his resolution can
be cavilled at by any body except such. mad
partisans as Mr. Bun:lett, ilmnst be after shut
ting his eyes to the plainest facts, and draw-
WhB ali ngst up t igple . dedrictions from the
Rnnth
'lmo* , that the war is not a contest ror- oabju
gation, and that it is waged simply for the re
assertion of the rightii 171116 b ills - certain to
lose under the influence of Secession; and
there will be a magic change in opinions.
throughout the Confederate States. For this
reason the passage of Mr. Crittenden's reso
lution is a subject of national congrablation,
and I hope it will be attended with all the
good effects which I have anticipated.
The unexpected reverse which befell our
troops on Sunday night, occurring, as it did,
in the very lap of victory, after they bad
covered themselves with glory, throughout the
day, continues to be the theme of general con
versation and comment. It will delay, but
cannot prevent, the success of the "Union
cause. Indeed, it may be regarded as a provi
dential interposition to warn certain poli
ticians, civilians, and editors of the impro
priety-and danger of interfering with the plans
of the. Comreander.in-Chief, and endeavoring
to precipitate action before all the necessary
arrangements are made. I have seen persons
who were eye-witnesses of the whole of Sun
day's evolutions, ani they assure me that the
teamsters and curious spectators.were the first
to create confusion. and disarrange the solid
ranks of our friends. This should lead to the
determination to issue no more pattse - s within
the lines. Indeed, no one should 'be permit
ted to cross the . "Potomac unless -prepared to,
fall into the ranks as a soldier and take his part
in the danger. Newspaper - fame is cheaply
won by accounts of being-present on the battle
field, attending to the ,wants. , of volunteers,
and offering services as atds, but the prescience
of Gen. Scott has provided' every requisite
accommodation for hiritfoliiii, - itlid - camp.fol.
lowers, hewever laudable their intentions may
be, always embarrass the movements of an
army, and are the most panic-stricken in a
stampede. When the army of the Potomac
shall be reconstructed, and Gen. McClellan
assumes the command, I hope to see an entire
change, or, rither, an entire discontinuance
of the pass system. It is full of evil, and
'without a single redeeming benefit. No man
who is` governed by mere feelings of curiosity,
has any business within the entrenchments,
and he who has 'no business there will- most
asimretily be .in the way, and a hindrance in
time of action. }DAVEY Briton.
The Battle Near Manassas.
For The Prete.]
• From what we can learn after many inqui
riee and as close scrutiny as possible, under
the circumstances, of our' sources - of infor
mation; the battle near Manassas Junction was
one which history will be proud to record as
an = evidence of the energy- and spirit -with
which the chappions.of civic government and.
of 'our republican institutions meet those who
oppose them in arms. We . accept the
achievements of Sunday as evidence of. how
,heroes can contend against masked traitors in
our capital, worming their.serpenthie way into
the - secret councils of tho . nation, or plying
their beet efforts unmasked in' the open halls
of legislation or in banded legione two to their

Gen. McClellan's Military Genius.
The command of the army of the Potomac has
been transferred to Major General McClellan, who
has been summoned to Washington, his command
in 'Wanton Virginia having been given to General
floaenerets, who has exercised great military skill
In carrying out the orders of General McClellan in
that quarter. The correspondent of the Cinoinnati
Commarcial, who has accompanied Gen McClellan
in hie Western Virginia campaign, thee speaks of
'the military genius he has displayed :
' The admirable manner •In which this campaign
was planned and executed stamps Maker General
•MoOlellan is - i'commander of first clan military
genius.: When 'we remember thathie entire army
had Vibe enlisted and organized all zoitte, and alt
its immense train, the Innumerable petty - details of
administration, which' had to be managed by inex
perienced men, and that thermaterzet of the army,
and most o f i ts ( An der s, were utterly inexperietoed,
